  2. What Is eDischarge • eDischarge is an electronic Discharge Notification that:- • Improves the transfer of patient care at the point of discharge • Achieves the 24 hour contractual turnaround for GP notification

  3. Why eDischarge • GP has a clear, complete and accurate Admission & Discharge notification within 24 hours of Patient discharge – assuming that the Practice has an nhs.net e-mail address • Improved communications for both internal and external agencies • Improved accuracy of Patient data • Early notification to Pharmacy allowing drug preparation in advance of final discharge • Early awareness of planned discharge dates • Reduced postage and delivery costs

  4. Planning and Using eDischarge • You can start planning the Patient’s discharge immediately and update the record accordingly – you don’t need to complete it in order • The admission/discharge document is ‘live’ throughout admission and can be built up by any authorised person at any point during this time • For clarity abbreviations should not be usedin free text areas • The printed copy will be used by the ward clerk to update PAS with accurate data • You can facilitate the Additional Discharge Information field as a tool to negate the need to produce a follow up letter
